Women living with HIV have specific needs regarding sexuality, pregnancy, and childbirth. However, there is lack of knowledge about how these needs can be met. The aim of this study was to identify supportive conditions for sexual and perinatal wellbeing in women living with HIV in Sweden.
A phenomenological reflective lifeworld research approach was used. Transcribed interviews with 18 women living with HIV in Sweden were analyzed focusing on the meanings of the study phenomenon.
When living with HIV, "feeling safe with oneself and in relationships with others" is essential for sexual and perinatal wellbeing. This is constituted by having good overall health, being in a caring context, having access to high quality information about HIV, and being ensured the same rights as other women.
The study shows that women living with HIV have specific needs for the support of their sexual and perinatal wellbeing. This knowledge can be used by all those engaged in HIV care and HIV prevention in order to improve and implement supportive conditions for women living with HIV. It is important that all those involved in the care of women living with HIV constantly update their knowledge about HIV and women's experiences of living with HIV in order to provide safe arenas and caring contexts that support the wellbeing of these women.
感染 HIV 的女性在性、怀孕和分娩方面有特殊需求。然而，对于如何满足这些需求，人们知之甚少。本研究旨在确定瑞典感染 HIV 的女性在性和围产期健康方面的支持条件。
采用现象学反思生命世界研究方法。对瑞典 18 名感染 HIV 的女性进行了转录访谈，重点分析了研究现象的含义。
感染 HIV 后，“对自己和与他人的关系感到安全”对性和围产期健康至关重要。这包括身体健康良好、处于关怀环境中、获得高质量的 HIV 信息，并确保享有与其他女性相同的权利。
研究表明，感染 HIV 的女性在性和围产期健康方面有特殊的支持需求。这些知识可以被所有从事 HIV 护理和 HIV 预防的人所利用，以改善和实施对感染 HIV 的女性的支持条件。所有参与感染 HIV 的女性护理的人都必须不断更新他们对 HIV 和女性感染 HIV 后生活经历的了解，以便为这些女性提供安全的环境和关怀的环境，支持她们的健康。
